SP'IIR,LT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We publish in another column a remarkably clear and interesting statement, written by the Rev, Dr. Chalmers, on the subject of Church Extension in Scotland. The re port from which it is extracted exhibits, with the Doctor's usual precision and power, the obligation that rests upon Government to provide such an adequate supply and en dowment of religious ordinances as may render them ac ceptable to the poor, tither gratuitously or at the lowest possible rate. Since the days of John Knox the popula tion of Scotland, it seems, has increased a million and a half: whereas the few churches that have been added to the old parochial complement during that long interval (anterior to the recent erections by local subscription) " have not furnished one additional place of worship for each 9.0,000 of the increased population." Now, of the twofold process necessary to provide an extension of Church accommodation commensurate with the wants of Scotland --namely, an increase of edifices, and a partial en alowment for the new Clergy—the people themselves have nobly undertaken the former, and have actually set agoing two hundred additional churches within the last four years. Unless, therefore, the Government come forward with the remaining element of the process, and grant such an endowment of these Churches as shall partially support their pastors without imposing the necessity of putting a high price upon the pews, it is plain that the indigent and neglected poor, for whose benefit they have been erected, must remain in all respects as destitute and degenerate as before. Nor can her Majesty's Ministers defend their hos tility to this proposal on the alleged score of resisting a rapacious clerical ambition ; for, while the trifling endow ment of 801. per annum for each pastor is all that is asked for at the hands of the Treasury, esssry person M 1 2.7,t see that any supposed passion for ores' Church belling, is, in this case, sufficiently guarded. against by the circumstance that the whole expense ttereof comes out of the pockets of the petitioners. Wit 1 .1 this satisfactory security against im provident and Ise, - needed erections, the fact of the people subscribin g f . 's) build must surely be an ample warrant for the ( :,,overnment consenting to endow. It appears, moreover, that the withholding of the endowment in question is seriously interfering with that rapid multiplica of churches which would otherwise take place ; though, it fewer new erections have been made during the past year (ending May, 1838) than in the former one, " it is not from any decay of ieterest in the cause—an interest more active at this moment than ever"—but because, without the intervention of a helpin g hand to end ow suc h e difi ces as arc already built, i t i s felt that the purposes of the beneficent enterprise ; are in a great measure thwarted ; and their use fulness among the destitute classes, for whose advantage they were undertaken, is but very partially realized. No doubt the additional churches thus erected by spontaneous liberality have to a certain extent increased the means of religious worship, and also lessened its price to the indigent worshipper. But as long as these churches remain unendowed by Government, the absolute neces sity of putting some price upon the pews, in order to support the Clergyman, must inevitably exclude those wretched thousands from whom not a single farthing can be obtained to procure for themselves the blessings of spiritual instruction. By these new places of worship the gate of divine ordinances may have been opened somewhat wider than before to a certain needy class who can contri bute a little ; but with regard to the poorest of the poor, the arrestment of whose growing degeneracy and danger was the principal thing contemplated, there must still remain " a mass of irreligion and ignorance which, if abandoned by Government to the operation of an uncertain benevolence from without," will ultimately throw the moral interests and social order of the community into a state of imminent and inexcusable jeopardy. The conduct of the Whigs upon this important question is reprehensible in the extreme. The London subscription in aid of Church Extensionin Scot land is, we observe, still going forward, though very languidly. One reason, perhaps, why less interest is felt in this metropo litan effort thanit deserves, is,as we are informed, the circum stance that it happens to be mainly in the hands of some of the principal parties who took a prominent lead in appeal ing to public liberality last year on behalf of the destitute Highlanders. The respectability of these parties is be yond all question ; neither would it be fair to suppose that they gave any countenance to the recent attempt to misap propriate the Highland relief fund ; but the fact is, the 1 same frequency of application which operates so unfavour ably for private cases, affects to no small extent the success of more disinterested appeals. When the public are too long and too often dunned by the same names they grow weary of it. After all, however, were the matter viewed in a proper light, it would be seen that the community are really under a deep obligation to these parties for their use ful, active, and gratuitous services. And as to the cause of Church Extension, in which they are now so beneficially employed, we can only say that their munificent donations to it have been such, as we should like to see imitated by many of our opulent readers.—Times. On Tuesday last Mr. Wilshere made his appearance at Yarmouth, and was received in the most flattering manner. Our readers will find elsewhere an account of the proceed ings. In the course of his address Mr. Wilshere alluded to the agreement which led to his vacating his seat at the close of the last session, and the imputations which had been thrown out that he bad not honorably and conscien tiously fulfilled his part of the agreement. " Gentlemen," said Mr. Wilshere, " I fling back with the scorn and contempt it deserves, that imputation upon my honour. I will tell you what I did in consequence of that agree ment. I undertook not to interfere in the election of Mr. Baring, and from the moment I gave that pledge I have not interfered in his election. I abandoned my seat, and almost before the ink was dry with which I solicited the appointment to the Chiltern Hundreds, I was on my way out of England to avoid even the suspicion of taking any part in the proceed ings that were to take place consequent thereon. Now, Gen tlemen, this conduct of mine has been most grossly and most unfairly interpreted. It has been said that I was privy to my name being made use of in opposition to Mr. Baring s that I knew what was going on, and that I had merely gone out of the way in order to throw a cloak over what would have been a disgraceful act of hypocrisy and dishonour. Now, Gentlemen, to you I need not say that that state ment is utterly false. But I feel, Gentlemen, that I owe it to myself as an individual, and as your representa tive, to state here, publicly and solemnly, in the face of my opponents, if any are present, and I trust there are some of them here, I did not know my name would have been used ; I was not a party to it ; I did not even know the freemen had met, and determined to put me in nomination, till the very day before my nomination took place, and then my attention was only drawn to it by a friend I accidentally met in the streets of Paris. I appeal to you whether I have not conscientiously, even scrupulously, carried into effect all that I was bound to do by that agreement." Mr. Wilshere added, however, that an application had been made to him by Mr. Baring again to vacate his seat, thereby intimating that he, Mr. Wilshere, could not retain his seat in consequence of the agreement. " I have been placed," said Mr. Wilshere, " in the proud position which I now hold by your independent votes, and as many honourable gentlemen in this town and neighbourhood have given it as their opinion that I can hold my seat, I do say that I must be allowed to hesitate before I answer Mr. Baring's call. Gentlemen, lam aware that I alone must at last decide that point ; but in a question of such importance, involving my honour as well as your own, I should not like to rely solely on my own unaided judgment. I am, as you know, but just returned from the Continent; the very flattering haste which you have shown to welcome me among you has pre vented my consulting, as I intended to do, those friends into whose hands I would willingly leave my honour. I will riot anticipate their advice ; if it be that by the fair and honourable construction of the agreement I ought to retire, I shall do so, though with the deepest grief."—Morning Chronicle. Yesterday, in alluding to the great moral power about to be brought to bear on the next Session of Parliament, we expressed our conviction that the influence of public feeling would be exercised and acknowledged without the adop tion of any violent appliances ; and on this conviction we stated our approbation of the organization at present in ac tion throughout the country, with a warmth of feeling to which we should not have given utterance had we not felt confident that great as is the provocation practised to wards the people, and mighty as is their power, they yet possess sufficient intelligence to appreciat e the advantages of peaceful action, and know how to direct that power to the consummation of their wishes without the interruption of social order. Meitings of a most decisive and influen tial character have &ready been held in Birmingham, Man chester, Dublin, and other parts of the United Kingdom. Similar meetings are preparing to be held, amongst which WC may particularise that about to take place in the Palace yard, Westminster, on the 17th inst., which from its metropo litan character may be expected to exercise a paramount in fluence throughout the provinces, and serve as a beacon to appreciating the p os iti on w hi c h the their proceedings.

We cannot. help thinking that there is a common design among them, not at all warranted by any actually existing circumstances, to give an appearance of multitudinous force to the demand for Unisersal Suffrage. They perhaps think to frighten some foolish people of the Conservative party into new democratical concessions, by pretending that it is necessary to make such concesssions in order to keep off the Univer sal Suffrage men ; but we should hope that this delusive attempt will avail them nothing. A weekly Contemporary has stated that the working classes are resolved to try their strength against the proprietary classes, and has argued that the elective circle should be considerably en larged, because the most formidable assailants among the exclulea would be strenuous defenders if once received within the lines. The statement as to the fact we do not believe. We do not think that the working classes are at present resolved to try their strength against the proprietary classes. There is no doubt much revolutionary mischief brewing among the working classes, and we are very far from advising that this mis chief should be held of tight account. We think it ought to be carefully watched, and because it is the business of Government to watch it, and that the pre sent Ministers are too intent upon their own interests to watch any national interest with vigilance, we desire to see them sent adrift, that better and honester public men may undertake their duties. But the failure of the Reform Bill has operated in different ways upon the working classes. Hit has persuaded many of them that the Extension of the Suffrage was not carried far enough in 1832, it has also persuaded a great many that they were completely de ceived in being led to believe that Extension of the Suffrage is a thing likely to be productive of practical benefit to them. The argument that the admission of certain ex eluded classes would strengthen the lines against other ex cluded classes, has a superficial plausibility in it, but no thing more. The point to which democracy must be ad mitted under our form of Government, in order to secure the State against the disorders of absolute democracy, is a secret which theory can never teach. It must be discovered by experience, applied with the nicest judgment to varying circumstances. While the tide is running towards absolute democracy, it does not seem likely that by breaking down any fences, to admit a part of the advancing waters, we shall best avoid the risk of letting in the whole. Allowance should be made for the effect of the impetus and the rush ; but to leave metaphor and come to matter of fact, are the men who would now welcome further democratic changes chiefly composed of those last and lately " received within the lines," or not? We think there cannot be a doubt that the true answer must be in the affirmative. The same sentiment would ever prevail among the last admitted. They would find, as all men ever have found in that from which they have expected much good, disappointment. Instead of attri buting their disappointment to the erroneousness of their own views, they would believe that their views had not been carried far enough, and they would be the partizans of further change.—Morning Post. The Government Police Report of yesterday con tains particulars of the following robberies :--On Tuesday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, a silver watch and guard, as also six sovereigns and a number of silk handker• chiefs, were stolen from the house of Mrs. Alton, 5, Blue. date-fields, Shadwell. On the same night a watch an d ap pendages. together with various articles of jewellery, &c., were stolen from 23, New-street, Dorset-square ; the robbery is supposed to have been committed by a sail or l a d , a b out 17 years of age. On the same night some fellow entered the bed-room adjoining the officers' mess-room, St. James's Palace, and carried of a pair of epaulettes, with a grenade and crown on the strap, the property of Lieut.-Colonel Thorn ton, Grenadier Guards. An inquest was held last night in Whitechapel, on the body of E. Norville, aged 14, whose death was alleged to be occasioned by taking a quantity of raw mussels the pre vious night. It appeared in evidence, however. that, in addi tion to eating the mussels, the girl had indulged freely in gin and beer, and a surgeon was of opinion that death had resulted from excessive drinking. He stated farther that the appear. ance of the corpse was not unlike that of a person who died of cholera. He considered raw mussels very unwholesome food, and when taken they produced a swelling and great itchiness of the face; but he did not know an instance of persons dying from the use of raw mussels, as they were, he believed, gene rally boiled or dressed in some way before eaten. Verdict— " Natural death." STRANGE YET TRUE.---On Thursday, the 23d ultimo, an Irish gentleman, resident in Dumfries, left Bir mingham at 6A. Si., in company with a host of other travellers, on his way to Liverpool. For the first six or eight miles the speed was what it should be when the steam is up, and away went the long-drawn line of carriages as vigorously as game newly flushed. But, after a little time, pace Aack ening, reached the incipient point of death halt; aid the pas sengers supposing something had gone wrong, mad, fearful lest some succeeding train should salute them, after hostile seventy-four gun fashion, eagerly inquired what had hap pened. But, as the guards were too busy to answer every question put, they at once alighted, and then learned that there was a want of coke to mix with the coal, an article, it appears, essential to the rapid generation of locomotive steam. In this dilemma the engineer knew not what to do; but, on observing an old wheelbarrow at hand, the thought occurred that wood might form a substitute for coke, and accordingly he got it shivered to pieces forthwith, and thrust into the furnace; and the effect was so magical that the snorting steam steed careered more fleetly than ever until the engineer reached a station where he expected to receive a supply of coke; but he was disappointed, and equally so in caperclawing a second wheelbarrow. Any thing, however, will do at a pinch, and, on observing a ladder leaning against a wall, he again came to the conclusion that its steps might be advantageously made use of in improving his own ; and from this point forward the train mo ved on ward, step by step, without further l e t or hindrance. Many things are discovered by accident —exempli gratia, the self regulating safety valve, which we owe to the sagacity of an idle boy—and, if chips happen to be cheaper than coke, the above hint will not be lost.—Dumfries Courier. It is stated that the Lord Mayor, as Conservator of the Thames, has issued, or is about issuing, an order forbidding persons to angle in that river on Sundays.

On Sunday morning the Vivid steam-boat, of Shields, was engaged to tow some ships out to sea, and had got her steam up for that purpose, when the owners, who worked the boat, found that she was not in a fit state to do so; they accordingly brought her up, and while two of them were employed in raking out the fires, the boiler exploded with great violence, and dreadfully scalded the two men who were below. They were immediately conveyed ,home, where they lingered for a few hours and died. The accident appears to be the more singular, as the boiler bad been undergoing some repairs, and was only finished on Saturday.— Tyne Mercury. A TURKISH ENTERTAINMENT.— An admirably roasted lamb, dressed whole, but served cut up, with excellent wheaten cakes, composed our fare. During our repast not a word was exchanged, and we had too much to tl.ink of, and to do, to make the meal appear long or the silence irksome. The Bey seemed to have forgotten that we were present, and we felt that all we could expect was to be suffered to be there, and that, from untimely questions, we shculd neither fare the better nor know the more. Perhaps, accustomed to that laconic but expressive manner, which we then first began to feel, he thought that our reception told us that it was necessary for us then to know—namely, that he was not displeased with our coming, and would give us a share of his carpet and his lamb. Urqi!hart's Travels in the East. Since the numerous supplies of water from Pad dington, which were continually running into the Serpentine, have been drawn off into a new deep sewer, it has receded from the hank on each side thirty feet, leaving a sloping gravel bottom. Bathers, on entering the river, particularly the rn,rth side, are therefore liable to fall at once from what are termed the shelves, into eleven, fourteen, and in some parts twenty-three feet of water. Mr. Pritchard, the superinten dent of the Royal Humane Society men, has sent out extra boats on this account. In a few weeks the river will be filled by a supply from the Chelsea Waterworks, for which an en gagement has been entered into at the annual cost of 500/. MONSTER Musmtoom.—On Tuesday last, a mushroom was brought to our office of the following dimen sions and weight:--Circumference three feet nine inches; diameter, 14 inches; girth round the stem, 10 inches ; and weight, 31bs.—Liverpool Mercury. During the last week an interesting spectacle has been witnessed on the lawn opposite the Vicarage-house at Sturminster, where a young cuckoo is supported and main tained by the industry and attention of a water-wagtail. This liltle fellow is most careful and zealous in behalf of his pro bye. and seems not a little proud of so promising a youth. It another wagtail approaches the cuckoo, ho is sure to meet with very heavy blows. The cuckoo can fly quite stron g , but is still in lading-strings, and seems loth to relinquish the flattering attention of its little guirdian. The birds con stantly roost together.— Wilts Independent. A POSTBOY KILLED BY A HORSE.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Tiger's Head Inn, in the village of Font's Cray, Kent, on the body of William Martin, a postillion, who was killed by a kick from one of the horses which he had teen driving. Mr. 'William Power, the landlord of the Tiger's Head, and the master of the deceased, said that he sent Martin with a pair of horses on Monday to Roothern Heath, when he retu-ncd early in the evening. He was quite sober, and having lid his horses into the stable he set about cleaning them. He hal not been long at the work when one of the horses kicked him in the chest as he was cleaning it behind. The kick knocked him backwards in a senseless state, and after lingering thee-quarters of an hour he expired. Mr. Pritchard, a sur geon, said that he had opened the body of the deceased, who he had no doubt died from the effects of the kick. Verdict— ' AccidetVa Death." society, may admit of cavil, though indisputable as regards abstract right; but let them choose a position which, founded on right policy and expediency, must en list the support of all just and rational men ; and, having chosen that position, let them immovably abide by it. There is one question upon which all their energies should be most fixedly concentrated—we mean the Corn-laws, to the abolition of which no honest politician can offer a pre text of opposition. This would be a practical legislative reform, which would ease the oppression of the people, while the process of admission of universal citizenship, and the other reforms insisted upon, were advancing to their accomplishment. Hitherto numerous popular assemblages have been regarded with apprehension—in future we ex pect that from the calmness and judicious discernment which will mark their proceedings, they shall be regarded merely as a medium of ascertaining the state of public opinion, and that no more anxiety will be felt as to their results than as to a vote of the House of Commons, exe, pt that their decision will be more conclusive of the progress of legislation. To assist in this most desirable consummation shall be our chief object, until the meeting in Westminster give, as we expect it to do, a decisive direction to the objects of popular pursuit. —Morning Advertiser. The signal and utter discomfiture of the plans of the Christino General Oraa for the subjugation of the strong holds occupied by the Carlists in Lower Aragon, affords conclusive proof that in other places than the Basque pro vinces and Navarre the mass of the people are decidedly favourable to Don Carlos. Great as is the energy of chartteter , —daring and intrepid as is the zeal—active and vigorous as are the talents of Cabrera, it would have been utterly impossible for him to have preserved Morella, and put to confusion and rout a veteran army of 25,000 men, with a numerous artillery, unless he had the voluntary and hearty co-operation of the people —aye, " the masses" whom our " Liberals" at home call the " sovereign people," but to whom they deny the right of choosing their own Sovereign in Spain. With an army not one-third of the number which the Christino General-in-chief had collected for the reduc tion of 'Morella, Cantaviej Calanda, and Belchite, the youthful leader of the Carlists not only stopped the career of promised conquest in its very first step, but drove before him, in ignominious flight, the redoubtable " army of the centre," whose glorious success had already been circulated throughout Europe by the French telegraph, and celebrated in triumphant paeans by the journals of loan mongering liberalism in Paris and elsewhere. By what miracle did Cabrera, with means apparently so inadequate, achieve so great a victory ? There was no miracle in the case, although the " Blessed Virgin" be the acknowledged patroness of the Carlist arms. The secret of Cabrera's suc cess was in the popularity of his cause—the cause before which the soldiership of the " British Legion," headed by the martial genius of an Evans, perished miserably, leaving nothing but rags and wretchedness, and the memory of its defeats as a legacy to its country. It was the popularity of his cause which enabled Ca brera to execute the plan which he had conceived for the defeat of Oraa's projects, for that plan, how ever skilfully designed, could not be carried into effect without the popular co-operation. To cut up roads in all directions, and make the country a desert round the besieging army, required the aid of the inhabitants. Had they been hostile to the cause of Don Carlos, instead of friendly, any attempt of Cabrera to lay waste the country would only have facilitated his ruin. Between the over whelming Christino force on the one side, and the hatred of the people on the other, his small army must soon have come in reality to that state in which the correspondents of our Liberal Journals had frequently represented it to be, when their veracious pens have recorded its " annihila tion." Lord Palmerston and some of his colleagues have from time to time endeavoured to persuade the British public, as they have persuaded themselves, that the Spanish nation is in favour of the daughter of Fer dinand VII., because the Carlists possess so few towns or fortresses of any great consideration. Yet we find that in all towns, even the most republican, there are what are called " Carlist factions," which excite alarm, while nowhere do we find throughout the rural districts the Queen's party has any supporters whatever. Thus it is clear a portion of the town population and all the country population are in favour of Don Carlos, which accounts for such a successful march as that of Gomez from north to south, and back again, with little loss and with much spoil. Once more we observe, the Palmerston " non-in tervention war" is at work to protract Me miseries of this civil war, the crew of a British vessel having been landed on the coast of Valencia to protect Castellon de la Plana from Cabrera's victorious bands. Has not England reaped enough of disgrace, and her Government of infamy, from such proceedings already ?—.Morning Herald. Although there be nothing new in the observation that the grand Whig measure of revolutionary selfishness, called the Reform Bill, has utterly failed in realising the benefits or diffusing the satisfaction which were confidently antici pated as its results, it is yet, in our opinion, a useful service to point out from time to time the fresh manifestations which come forth, of the complete disappointment of them who so recently contended that for such an excellent mea sure the nation could not make too /*Tat a sacrifice. And why is this a useful service ? Because those very persons, who insisted with the most obstreperous fierceness that the Reform Bill must abolish all political evil and establish all political good, not only are already among those who most violently condemn its operation, but they are almost equally dogmatical and truculent in insisting upon further and more revolutionary changes, on no other ground than their opinion of the national good which would necessarily follow. Now it cannot be too often nor too clearly set before the public mind, that these people havingbeen so egregiously mistaken as to the results of the Reform Bill, are by no means to be believed, but scorned rather, when with reiterated impudence they come forward, tendering advice as if they had the reputation of wise men, when the experience of every day, and even their own statement, proclaims them to be fools. The Whigtaadical organs now tell us that the public has been extremely disappointed by the Reform Act, and that the beneficial efllEcts upon the representation of the people in Parliament, which were so confidently expected, have by no means taken place. But whose fault is it if the public be thus disappointed? Who was it that taught the public to look forward to those beneficial effects which have not taken place ? To whom is the general expectation, so ignorantly and falsely entertained, to be attributed? Is it the fault of the Tories? Did they say that the public had a right to look for admirable results from the Reform Bill ? No ; it was these same Whig-Radical organs which now with such an air of confident wisdom publish the total failure of the Reform Bill, and the alleged public disappointment, that did some years ago mislead the public upon the matter, and lay the foundation of the disappointment by putting forth statements as destitute of sense as the babble of an idiot, and as full of violence as the ravings of a maniac. This is a fact which no one can gainsay, and yet these pompous promulgators of error make no apology. They proclaim that a mistake has been made ; but instead of humbly ask ing pardon for the grossness of their stupidity, or the vio lence of that coarse revolutionary zeal which led them astray, and caused them to lead the public astray, they write as if they had all along been correct in their views, and the public in error : as if they had not been them selves the producers of the mistake, but had warned the the people against it, and thereby entitled themselves to credence and confidence in the schemes of revolutionary change which they now advocate. And while they pro ceed in this fashion—which they must do upon calculation that the people they address are either the most forgetful, or the dullest people in the world—they say much about the intelligence of the people! We cannot believe it possible that any portion of the English public, with the experi ence of the last seven years, can be duped in this way. Surely it is not by two or three flattering epithets, accompanied by statements which show that these epithets are not used in sincerity, that Englishmen are to be beguiled from the exercise of their sober senses. Such shafts of Whiggery may do well enough for the Romanist masses in Ireland who have no common sense, or for the self-adoring Whigs of Scotland whose common sense in political matter s is utterly croaked by the thick-springing weeds of a preposterous vanity ; but the general mind of the British people, which Addison beautifully described in his day as " modest, thoughtful, and sincere," will surely not be carried away by flattery so clumsy, and impudence so monstrous. It is but justice to observe that some of the more argumentatively-disposed Journals which advocated the Reform Bill, did not prophecy so absolute a content ment from its operation as others ; but it so happens that precisely the same Journals which were least reserved, and most obstreperous in crying aloud for " The Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," are now the most pe remptory in denouncing- it as a failure, and the most flippantly confident. in proposing reform s of the Reform Bill which are to set everything right. The weekly papers whi c h spo k e d ou b t i ngly of the Reform Bill, while Y they recommended it, now seem most disposed to give it credit for having accomplished political good, while the violent diurnals which would permit no doubt of the ab solute perfection of the Bill, now toss it aside without the slightest ceremony, as a mere delusion, which has given nothing but unfounded hopes to the people. The dif ference between these two classes of Journals is most pro m-lac ntly this—that while the violent daily organs of Whin-- Radicalism appear to be the mere hacks of the Adminis tration, insisting that every thing is faultless which favours the present interest of the Ministers—(a very different thing, be it observed, from the interest of the nation) and abusing every thing —even that which they have pre viously praised—as soon as it ceases to operate for the in terest of the Ministers—the weekly organs on the same tide seem rather to consult the ultimate interest s o f demo cracy. These latter may be argued with—th e f ormer can only be exposed. It appears at present, however, t o b e the MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. William Garrett, a publican living in the Tower Ham lets, was indicted for assaulting Francis Carter. The prosecutor having stated the particulars of the assault— Mr. C. Pnit.urs, on the part of the defendant, objected to the case proceeding further j oh the ground tl.at the al leged assault having been eortutitted within the boun daries of the Tower Hamlets this Court had nu authority to try it—the Tower Hamlets having a Court estdiilished there to try all cases of misdemeanour, assault, &c., com• m;tted within its jurisdiction, and by which alone the pre sent case could be disposed of. The CHAIRMAN said the objection was certainly a novel one, and of very great importance. He wished to know by what authority the Court alluded to had been es tablished. Mr. C. PHILLIPS handed up the chairman a copy of a a royal charter establishing such Court, and declaring that it .should have exclusive jurisdiction in all cases of misdemeanour, assault, &c., committed within the Tower Hamlets. Mr. JONES, for the prosecution, contended that if the defendant had any objection to offer to the jurisdiction of the Court he should have pleaded it in the first instance, and before pleading to the indictment ; and in support of his argument quoted Chitty on Pleas, where it was stated In general any objection to the jurisdiction must be pleaded, and cannot be taken advantage of under the general issue. But where a statute directs that particular matter shall be determined only within a certain boundary or by certain Magistrates, this may be shown under a plea of not guilty, and it has been holden that an objection to the jurisdiction which is apparent on the face of the indict ment by the caption, when returned on a certiorari or otherwise, may be well taken on demurrer ; but if a party be indicted before Justices at Sessions, it should seem that he may plead specially that the offence did not arise within their jurisdiction, though the matter may be given in evi dence under the general issue. From the nature of this plea it must evidently bo pleaded before the general issue, because, by pleading not guilty, the defendant admits the power of the Court to try him, and refers the cause to their decision ; but we have seen that, by permission, the latter plea may be withdrawn, and the former substituted in its place." Mr. C. PHILLIPS contended that, according to the latter part of the quotation, the Court had the power to permit defendant to withdraw his plea. The CHAIRMAN should like to know if the Court of the Tower Hamlets had the exclusive jurisdiction stated ? Mr. Lush, the Steward of the Court of the Tower Hamlets, stated that the Court had such exclusive juris diction granted by Royal charter ; and mentioned that in a recent case where some persons resident in that district had been fined for non-attendance as jurymen at the Mid dlesex Sessions, on the attention of the Court of Exche quer being called to that charter, it took off the fines. Mr. C. PHILLIPS said that, supposing the defendant should be acquitted on the present occasion, that would be no answer to an indictment for the same assault if pre ferred against him in the Tower Hamlets Court. Mr. TULK (a Magistrate)—Your argument would equally apply in ease he was convicted. Mr. C. PHILLIPS said it would not, because no motion could be made in arrest of judgment except where there was error on the face of the record. After a long argument, The CHAIRMAN decided that the defendant should have taken his objection to the Court's jurisdiction before he pleaded to the indictment. The trial then proceeded, and the defendant having been found guilty, was sentenced to pay a fine of 40s. The MAGISTRATES generally were of opinion that had the defendant's Counsel taken the objection in the first in stance, the Court must have admitted it, thus acknowledg ing the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tower Hamlets Court. Several other assault cases having been disposed of, the Court adjourned to the 18th inst. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Yesterday a man of very respectable appearance, named Michael Burns, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with havingmost flagrantly assaulted several genteel women in the streets. William Miller, shopman to a woollen draper in Cornhiil, stated that on the preceding evening he saw, as he was leaving the shop, the defendant walk up to two ladies and assault them in a manner that excited his utmost surprise and indignation. The ladies resisted, and got out of his way, and he immediately afterwards shocked ano ther respectable female by taking a similar liberty. Witness and another person who had followed and observed the defendant, ran up on findinc , that the man was persevering, notwithstanding the checks which he met with, and expostulated with him on the atrocity of his conduct ; but he made no observation except that he would knock the head off anybody who attempted to lay hands upon him. The defendant then went into Birchin lane and attacked three ladies whom he met, after which he fell foul of two others, who appeared to be mother and daughter. Witness then could restrain himself no longer, but went up and told the defendant that he would take him into custody himself. When he proceeded to act, the de feadant made a blow at him, but was secured, and with the assistance of an officer apprehended, and conveyed to a place of security. The LORD MAYOR—Did you not see an officer, whose assistance you might have obtained before ? Witness— No. The moment I saw one I called for his assistance, and obtained it ; but I looked about for a long time without SUCCeSS. The LORD MAYOR—Did you strike him. Witness—l struck him with a cane, and he endeavoured to get away, but I ;vas determined not to let him escape. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, defendant, what have you to aray—were you drunk. Defendant—l am, my Lord, suffering under an aberra tion of mind. I have been for some time subject to attacks of the kind occasionally. 1 did not, however, move the clothe s of any one of the females ; of that I am convinced. The LORD MAYOR—Why did you presume to approach females in such a manner ? Defendant—l was not myself at the time. lam conscious now of the impropriety, but I was not then. Mr. Miller said that he could not prevail upon any of the ladies to come forward, although they were evidently greatly shocked. The LORD MAYOR—No doubt they were shocked. The consequences might have been extremely injurious. Defen dsant, have you ever acted in this manner before? Defen dant —I have, my Lord, unfortunately. The LORD MAYOR—And been apprehended for it ? Defendant —Yes, my Lord ; I have been taken up and committed to Coldbath-fields prison for similar conduct. It is an aberration of mind. I have no controul over myself when I am affected, and I regret it when it is too late. The LORD MAYOR—You seem now to be perfect master of yourself, and can you account for this fit at all ? De fendant—l am now master of myself, but I cannot give any explanation other than that I was not myself. The LORD MAYOR--Then you must be taken care of. I cannot, however I may compassionate your condition, let you loose upon the public. The defendant was acquainted with several gentlemen of the City, and was himself a mercantile man. He believed himself that it would be advisable to keep him at intervals under restraint. The defendant was then ordered to be taken care of in the Giltspur-street Compter ; and soon afterwards Two gentlemen waited upon the Lord Mayor, and in formed his Lordship that the unfortunate man was fre quently devoid of reasoning power, and performed actions which proved beyond all doubt that he must be restrained. They believed that commercial adversity was the cause. The LORD MAYOR—W hen I am satisfied that his family will take care that the public shall be safe from his attacks, I will give him up to them, but not till then. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. It will be recollected that our Paper contained a report on Tuesday last of a case in which a policeman of the C division, named Turvey, was fined by Mr. Chambers for an a lleged improper abuse of his office, in giving a Scotch m edical man into custody on a charge of assault. The po li c eman, in the first instance, made a complaint against a girl of the town for being chunk and using indecent lan guage, and Mr. Chambers ordered her to be sent t o prison for a short period. The policemen then accused a person of respectable appearance, who gave his name James Robinson, surgeon, of Falcon-square, of hav ing laid hold of his collar and pulled him forcibly back while he was engaged in taking the drunken woman to the station-house. The policeman s charge was corroborated by another constable, and, in addition, the policeman said he could get a second witness who saw the same assault upon him. In reply, Mr. Robinson said he saw the girl carried along with her head hanging downwards, and ap prehending danger from this p os iti on , as a medical man, out of humanity , he merel y as ked the policeman to h o ld' her bead higher, when he was given into custody by Turvey. Three persons having corroborated this story, one a re spectable tradesman in Bond-street, named Davis, Mr. Chambers at once disbelieved the:statement of Turvey, and immediately took the charge as one of misconduct against the policeman, whom he fined in the heavy penalty of 31., and in addition directed that the girl whom he had jest sent to prison on Turvey's testimony should be released. When the report of the case was made to the Police Commis sioners Turvey was immediately dismissed. As he bore an excellent character, he was advised to apply to Mr. Robin son, in order to get that person to intercede with the Com missioners for his reinstatement. On making inquiry at Fal con-square, no such person as Mr. Robinson was known ' there ; but the policeman slcceeded in ascertaining that. the name and address sworn to by the person who hal caused him to be fined were false. Further inquiry, and a letter addressed to the Commissioners, served to throw very great doubt on the claim to respectability possessed by the person calling himself Robinson, and to give rise to the impression that his statement against the policeman was not altogether worthy of implicit credit. Superintendent Baker, of the C division, waited upon Mr. CHAMBERS to state what had transpired with respect to the matter before him on Monday. Mr, CtiAMBERs said his reasons for believing the story told by Mr. :Robinson were, because four gentlemen had corroborated it. The Superintendent said the prinCipal party had sworn falsely,' inasmuch as he had given an asscutod name and address, though under the solemnity of an oath. (Mc of the witnesses, who said his name was Clark, a printer, Sut ton-street, Lambeth, could nowhere be found. He, too, must have sworn falsely in that particular. The third wit ness was a friend of the pretended James Robinson, and the fourth, Mr. Davis, might not have been present at the particular time when the assault on the policeman was said to have been committed. Mr. CHAMBERS said the circumstances of a person deli berately swearing in one particular that which he knew to be false, of necessity cast a suspicion upon the truth of the rest of his statement. Superintendent—The policeman was dismissed as *non as the fine was inflicted. The man contrived to raise the 31. to pay his fine with. Mr. CHAMBERS—What sort of character does the man bear ? Is he at all intemperate in his disposition ? Superintendent—Not in the least. The man was a quiet good constable, and so far from acting with intemperance, he if anything was too forbearing. Mr. CUAMBERS—I am sorry to hear the man is dis missed. When I fined him, it was under the impression that the penalty was a sufficient punishment. I had no idea that the man in addition would lose his bread. Superintendent—Whenever a constable is fined by a Magistrate he is dismissed. The Commissioners have no discretion in the matter ; they have received instructions from the Secretary of State's Office, to dismiss every man fined by a Magistrate. Mr.CHAMBERS—What is the use of the Act of Par liament, then, which empowers Magistrates to hear and decide cases of misconduct on the part of the police ? If we fine, we consider it to be in satisfaction of the offence ; but it appears a double punishment is too await the person so dealt with. The Superintendent said it was his duty to lay the addi tional circumstances before the bench, and, having done so, his business was at an end. The subject then dropped. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Louis Josephs, a lad about fourteen or fifteen years of age, son of Mr. Josephs, one of the overseers of Clerkenwell parish, furniture broker, of Brook•hill, Clerk enwell, was placed at the bar, charged by Mr. Richard Daniel Nichols, broker, of Brook-hill, with cutting and maiming, with intent to do him some bodily harm. The case excited considerable interest, and the office was crowded to excess. Mr. Wooler attended for the prisoner. _ _ The prosecutor having been sworn, stated that on Wed nesday night last about eleven o'clock, he received infor mation that there was a disturbance near his house, and on proceeding to the spot he found the prisoner's father and mother quarrelling with a neighbour, whom they vio lently attacked. Witness proceeded to his assistance, when the prisoner's mother and sister fell upon him, and whilst endeavouring to get from them the prisoner jumped upon his back and stabbed him with some sharp instrument, which witness thought was a knife. He was informed by a person present that he was bleeding, and on entering his house he found that he had received a stab on his face, and his 154 n d was also cut. He here exhibited the wounds. Mr. BEIVOCT—Can you swear who stabbed you ? Wit ness—The prisoner. Mr. BENETT—How do you know it was the prisoner? Witness—Because I felt it when I took him off my back. Mr. Wooler—Pray how long was it after you received the wound that you gave the boy into custody ? Witness —About ten minutes. Mr. Wooler—Will you swear that it was not half an hour ? Witness—l will. Louis Worms, of Brook-hill, being sworn, stated that he saw the prisoner jump upon the prosecutor's back, and job him in the mouth with something. Mr. Wooler—Did you not strike his mother ? Worms —I did not. James Hubbard proved having seen the prisoner jump on the prosecutor's back and punch him with something, tisit he coda not say with what. Tie prisoner used bad language, and his conduct was abominable. The prisoner in his defence said that he was at his father's door with a flute in his hand, and his sister was singing a song, when a quarrel took place, and Worms struck his mother. Nichols came up and struck him on the mouth, he did not know what he did after that. He put the flute into his pocket before he was struck. Mr. Wooler called George Welch, of No. 14, Brook hill—He saw Worms strike the prisoner's mother. He only saw a flute in the prisoner's hand. He did not know whether anybody struck the prisoner. Ann Buskin saw a crowd, and Worms strike Mrs. Joseph. She could not see all that the prisoner did. He rushed forward to protect his mother, who was used shamefully. Sarah Bianchi saw the prisoner and his sister singing and playing at their father's door. Worms and Nichols assaulted and dragged Mrs. Josephs, and the prisoner went to her assistance. He had a flute in his hand. Policeman 102 G proved taking charge of the prisoner, when he found the pieces of a flute with keys in his pocket, but no knife. Waddington, the gaoler, stated that he was passing by at a quarter to eleven o'clock ; there had been a quarrel, but the prisoner was not given into his custody, although he and Nichols were present at the same, and knew witness. Mr. BENETT said that this was a charge of cutting and maiming, under Lord Ellenborough's Act, which, if the party was found guilty, would subject him to be executed as in a case of murder. The prisoner's mother lid been assaulted and dragged, and he went to her assistance, and if he had intended murder in all probability he would have had a penknife, or some other weapon, in his possession. If he (Mr. Benett) were to send him before a Judge, he would never be convicted under Lord Ellenborough's Act. He would discharge him on the capital charge, but would order him to put in bail to appear at the Sessions to answer any cha_ p rre that might be brou g ht aga i ns t hi m . Mr. MALLETT suggested that as the parties were con tinually quarrelling the best mode would be to order the whole of them to put in bail to keep the peace towards each other. The prisoner put in two bail in 401. each to appear a the Sessions, and was liberated. Henry Blewet and James Dale were charged by Laing Thompson, a Scotchman, residing at No. 131, Saffron•hill, with having stolen two baskets, two pair of trowsers, and other articles, value 12s. The prosecutor, whose gigantic appearance excited much astonishment, was obliged to stoop when entering the office. He is well proportioned, and about sixty years of age, and his formidable presence caused everybody in the Court to appear like pigmies. He stated that the prisoners slept in the same room with him, and whilst he was asleep they stole the property. He traced them, and gave them into the custody of Clarke, of G division, who, on searching them, found some of the pro perty. They were remanded. Mr. BENETT inquired how tall the prosecutor was ? Inspector Dewing replied, six feet nine inches high. Mr. BENETT said he was an extraordinary personage, and inquired whether he had ever exhibited himself ? Inspector Dewing—Yes, your Worship, during the last fortnight. Mr : : BENETT—What has he been? Inspector Penny said he was formerly in the army, on quitting which he be came a publican, but failed in business. Mr. 13ENETT said he reminded him of O'Brien, the Irish giant. His appearance excited such curiosity, that, on leaving the office, he was followed by a crowd of persons. THAMES OFFICE. John Lavige, master of the Danish schooner Fanzille, of 84 tons, appeared yesterday before Mr. GREENWOOD, the magistrate, to answer an information under the 58th section of the Pilot Act, for having, on a voyage from Altona to London, employed at Gravesend an unlicensed person to pilot the vessel, after David Jackson, a licensed pilot, had offered to take charge of her, whereby he had forfeited double the amount of pilotage. Mr. Hodgson, a solicitor, of Wapping, attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Kiss, a solicitor, accompanied by the ship's broker, appeared for the defendant. Mr. Hodgson stated that the proceeding had the sanc tion of the Trinity B oar d, and was the precursor of a series of informations which would bo, preferred for the purpose of putting a stop to the usurpation of the " mud pilots" (wa termen not licensed by the Trinity House, who conduct ships up and down the river) upon the hard earned privi leges of the Trinity pilots, and which had been long prac tised with impunity, and was daily increasing, insomuch that it was felt absolutely necessary to exert the strong arm of the law, and both masters employing, and watermen or others assuming to act as pilots, in contravention of he Pilot Act, would be prosecuted with rigour till the evil was put down. A mistaken notion prevailed, particu larly among captains of northern vessels, that masters con ducing their own ships were exempt from pilotage, and may employ in their aid as many watermen as they please. This decision originated in a misrepresentation of a late Ord, .r in Council, and he hoped the adjudication in this case would dispel it. The object of the information was ex ample, and he only went for the penalty of double pilotage, although the defendant had incurred an additional penalty of 5/. for every 50 tons burthen of the vessel. Mr' Hodgson then called David Jackson, a licensed pilot, who stated that on the 26th of August last he boarded the Famine, off Milton, and offered his services to pilot the ship up the River, at the same time producing his license. A person, wh ° " name he did not k now , but who he knew was not a licensed pilot, was on board, and had been taken up at Long-reach- Defendant said " I don't want you ; this is my pilot, and I may employ twenty such if I like." Witness answered„ " He is not licensed, and you will employ him at your peril. He then left, and immediately afterwards boarded the Allen, from Oporto, bound upwards, and kept near the Fatirdie almost all the way from Gravesend to Mill-wall, and observed the waterman direct' ng the course of the vessel, and acting as a pilot would have done. The witness then proved the pilotage legally demandable. Mr. GREENWOOD asked if the witness participated in the penalty, and whether there was any corroborative evidenc e? Mr. Hodgson said in the event of a conviction the pilo t would be entitled to one-third of the penalty, which won't' not be sufficient to defray his costs, and that he had re frained from adducing corroborative evidence on account of the expense of bringing witnesses from Gravesend, and be lieving that none would be necessary. That was his cage' Mr. Kiss took two legal objections—the first was, that the evidence did not support the allegation in the informs' Lion that the employment of the waterman was continued from Milton to Mill-wall. Mr. Hodgson.—That is merely descriptive of the voyage' The offence is laid at Milton, and one instance of emplor ment constitutes it as well as fifty. Mr. GREENWOOD perused the information, and said he was of opinion the case was made out. Mr. Kiss then objected that it w:".s not proved that the person on board was not a licensed pilot. Mr. Hodgson—That can soon be cleared up. We s hould like to know his person and name. Mr GREENWOOD (to Mr. Kiss) —They h a ve given the only negative evidence which the nature of the case admits of, and I shall hold it sufficient till you rebut it. Mr. Kiss then contended at some length that the pro ceeding was a violation of the reciprocity treaty with Dt mark, and that a late Order in Council exempted this clas° of vessels from pilotage, but he was not in a situation t°' produce it. Mr. Hodgson would very much like to see it. H e re fared to the 59th and 60th sections of the Act, and a" gued that no such order could legally be made ; and as to " reciprocity," whatever might exist between the two na tions, there was but a small quantum between the pilots and the watermen. The reciprocal treaty had nothing t° do with the pilotage question. Mr. GREENWOOD—Can you show me any more re cent Acts of Parliament than this ? If not, the limits: tions here preclude all idea of such an order. It eoull only apply to foreign vessels not exceeding fifty tons, er even then the master to exempt himself must pilot the II himself, " without the aid or assistance of any unlicens ed pilot, or other person or persons than the ordinary crew 011 the ship." Mr. Hodgson—Exactly so ; that is just . what we wept to ' drive into them. Mr. Kiss would then dispute the fact of the water having aided or assisted in piloting the vessel, and call' upon— ' Monk, the mate, who swore that the waterman took Iv ) part in piloting the s hip. H e was mere ly o n board as 3 waterman. Mr. GREENWOOD—What had you to do with a wat er man at Sea Reach ? Witness—He came to us there. u Mr. GREENWOOD—What passe d b e t ween hi m and t"ed captain? Witness— He as k e d 10 s ., an d th e capta i n offere - Ss., which he at first refused, but afterwards accepted. , Mr. Hodgson—Fo r w h a t? Wit ness —Why, to ta' e the ship up.—(A laugh.) Mr. Hodgson—That will do. I shall not uselessly e c " cupy your worship's time with remarks which I now Con ceive to be unnecessary, as the mate has made out my et ili Mr. GREENWOOD was of opinion that the et:se was fu proved, and it wa s tim e th e i n t eres t s o f th e pila,ssbouldhe be protected. He convicted the defendants in dot;h l . ° t he amount of pilotage, which we understood was paid ) 0 office. The case excited a good deal of interest. Early yesterday morning a policeman, in going pr: rounds in Fleet-street, discovered a man denuded of eve r y. a tide of dress, except trowsers, stockings, and shirt, lying !ll_ doorway in Crown -court, in a state of perfect stupefast wv ' _ A From the appearance of the man it w as s us pected that be . been unfearly dealt with, and he was conveyed to the stat l Y..„, house till he was sufficiently recovered to give the followliitri account of himself : —lt appears he had arrived the Prellet, t _ s tre evening from the country, and was proceeding up Flee when he was accosted by a female, who prevailed u pon hill l , t° er treat her with liquor, f or w hi c h purpose they repa i re d to tu!

Between nine and ten o'clock yesterday morning, b a: a man named Thomas Sherman, a bone collector, wa s on way towards Camden Town he stopped at a large des t-heap at the bott om o f Union•street, Somers Town, mid on tu rniag over some pi eces of paper and old timber he found con ceals beneath the sam e t h e dead body of a female infant, quite Pv e , feet, and without a single particle of clothing.
